Ghosthunters Capture 'Proof' Of The Black Monk Of Pontefract

Just in time for Halloween.

A group of paranormal investigators reckon they've caught some pretty solid evidence of a poltergeist in one of Britain's most haunted houses.

The Black Monk of Pontefract is up there with Slimer from Ghostbusters for fame in the UK, and the phantom has seen the Pritchard family subjected to years of torment.

Now, Steve Archibald and his wife, Carrie, brought their team, Pitch Black Investigations, to spend a night in the house.

The footage recorded shows a pram thrown down the stairs by an 'invisible force' (nothing unusual there...). In fact, the monk has got previous for lashing things down the stairs. Diane Pritchard claims she was dragged by her own hair down these stairs when she was 14. That's not the sort of thing you forget in a hurry if it happened.

After seeing the pram move on its own, a few members of the team bottled it and left. Chickens.

Steve told the Mirror: "I came around the corner and saw the buggy on the stairs and couldn't believe it. Then we all re-watched the footage. No one could believe it.

"I know 100 percent it couldn't have rolled. It had been there for eight hours. It doesn't budge or move on its own."

On the one hand, it's on wheels, isn't it? Someone could have pushed that quite easily. But on the other hand, I just really want it to be real. So, I'm really not sure. What do you think? Ghosts or BS?
